Getting to sleep withisn’t that much of a loss for you.” He tucked a finger under her chin and lifted it so that she was looking right at him. “You truly are a delicacy. | hope you won't forgetanytsoon.” As he spoke, his hand began to slide down Aubree’s neck, and he started to bend down until he was hovering right over her.
She snapped back to her senses and pushed his hand away with a scowl on her face. “Get out! Don’t makerepeat myself!” The man chuckled amusedly at her angry look and actually began to walk out.
Soon enough, Aubree was left alone in the hotel room She began to look around her, trying to recall what had happened last night.

Aubree felt a little more relieved at that. Maybe it really was just a drunk mistake.
No matter what had actually transpired, she couldn't stay here any longer.
Gritting her teeth against the pain radiating from her waist, she got out of bed and was about to put her clothes back on when she heard the door swing open again.
The man had returned.
Aubree screamed in shock and quickly wrapped the hotel robe around her, glaring at him in rage.
He innocently held up the bag he was holding. “You must be exhausted after everything that happened last night, Ms. Pearson. | went to buy sbreakfast for you.” Then, with a smirk, he continued, “I already saw everything you have to offer last night. Don’t bother covering up around me.” Aubree’s face was bright red with shand anger. “Stop looking at me!” He obediently turned around.
Just a moment later, he turned back around and nonchalantly placed her breakfast on the table before beckoning for her to cand eat.

“How do you know who | am?” she asked, looking at him cautiously.
He rose an eyebrow. “It’s not that hard to figure out. Is there a single person in Horington who doesn’t know about you and Mr. Farwell?” Aubree’s face contorted when the man mentioned her past relationship. “Shut up!” The man shrugged, unfazed, before laying her breakfast out for her.

She suspected that the worst-case scenawas that he wanted to take advantage of her when she was at her lowest.
If this had happened in the past, she would never have let him get away with it.
Now, however, she was beginning to think that he could be put to good use.
All it would take was just her body to win him over, and at this point in her life, there was nothing she wasn’t willing to sell out.
The mysterious man’s aura and the hotel room she was in both boasted his financial state.
Even if the Pearson family could no longer rise from the ashes again, she could still use this man to show Roxanne who she was messing with.
Her expression softened, and she even began to form ssemblance of a smile when she looked up at the man.
“What are you looking at?” she asked warily, noticing how the man would look at her occasionally from his phone.
He frowned and said helplessly, “It's company stuff. Imagine botheringthis early without even a good morning to be heard.” He started tapping on his phone again as he spoke.
